Freya Women's Daisy Lace Underwire Balcony Bra

Freya almost always has great bras. The bra band is true to size and the cups are actually medium + coverage not 100% I do not agree with it running large because i have a Freya Starlight style that fits bigger with more coverage in 28GG.. I have lots of Freya bras and this 28GG did not disappoint. This black beauty was exactly what i was looking for. Thanks

I am loving the fit of this bra. I am a full 36E natural cup and it fits really good, is super comfortable and provides good support for natural breasts. I was concerned about the thin straps but they are a non-issue, they don't cut and are comfortable. The underwire has not been an issue, it feels so good I literally had to feel to make sure it was there. I have been wearing this bra almost every day for 2 weeks to "test" it out and so far no complaints. It washes well also (delicate cycle/air dry). I ordered what I thought was the nude color but it is pink. I really hadn't thought of having a pink bra but I actually like it a lot now that I have it. When the budget allows, I will probably buy a couple more in other colors.

I have both the black and blush colorways of the Daisy Lace underwire bra (and the soft-cup too, but that’s not what this review is about).Note: black bras are usually more snug/run “smaller” than different colors due to the dyes used, or so I’ve heard. I have had several Panache, Goddess, and now Freya bras that have anecdotally confirmed to me that there is a difference!The black 38FF fits me better than the blush 38FF—not enough to make me want to size down in either band or cup, but enough to notice. The blush is a bit…floppy? at the top/center of the cup, whereas the black is more firm. I bought the blush after I realized the gore of the 38FF Panache Claras I have weren’t tacking, and it took me a bit to figure out what worked and what didn’t size-wise.The lace is cute. The top part of the cup is the same lace the soft-cup variant is made of, and that stuff must be handled with care. I’ve had multiples of the soft-cup rip just from a light touch/graze, usually in spots that are easily resewn with needle/thread/patience. This one is definitely a hand-wash. The bottom part of the cup is made of two light layers of sturdier stuff. There’s a subtle poof when my tissue hits the top part of the cup, as that material doesn’t hold things in as effectively as the bottom part; this is more pronounced in the blush version. It’s not super noticeable, though, especially under a shirt. I probably notice it because I have a contentious relationship with this part of my anatomy.The band is nice—firm enough to feel supportive but not so firm as to be painful. The black band definitely has less give than the blush. The wires don’t come up too high in my underarms. As a longtime Panache fan with flares of rib pain, these things are important.The Daisy Lace underwire isn’t shallow at the wire, but it’s not too immediately projected, either. I am, and I get a slight bit of wrinkling here, but not enough to be annoying. (Wrinkling doesn’t always mean too big!) The bottom portion of the cup is adequately deep; the top portion of the cup might have too much room for bottom-full individuals. The gore of the black colorway tacks better to me than the gore on the blush. I’m center-full and close-set, so sometimes this affects gore tacking as much as size does. Sometimes the last centimeter or so of the gore doesn’t tack; sometimes the left side wire flips up and sits on breast tissue, while the right wire tacks in the center. 🤦🏻This is definitely not a side-support bra. I prefer side-support for overall support, but it’s not a huge issue for me. If you require side-support, stick with four-part cup construction (and stiffer materials). I was looking for a bra that fits *well enough* and didn’t make me hurt worse than I already do, and this meets those criteria.

Edit 5/28/20: I’m lowering my review down to 1 star. This bra is still itchy and uncomfortable to wear after months of use. And the underwriter rubbed the skin under my breasts raw. I thought I was buying a bra, not a torture device. I would not buy this again.I knew from previous reviews that this bra would be itchy when I first received it. But I've washed it several times and it's still itchy! The lace is just not soft at all. I have to be careful what shirt I wear this bra with or I'll develop rub burns on my arms.As far as fit goes, the band is true to size and hasn't stretched too much since getting it. I'd say this bra is better for women who are full on bottom, and not too close-set. The gore comes up slightly too high for me.I'm keeping it because it is my current size and I don't have any others in this size, but I prefer some other Freya bras I have, even though they are the next cup size down.

This bra looks well made and is pretty. In full coverage bras, vanity sizing seems to be less common, so I'm a 36-d, in most. In this full coverage bra, the 36 is a nice fit, but the d is at least one cup size, possibly two, too small. I'm not extremely well endowed, so I think it's probably vanity sizing.I would buy again - but not the same size.

Since finding out about Abrathatfits calculator and finding my true size, this has been my go-to bra. I've been wearing is almost daily for 5 months and it is holding up well. Band has not stretched at all yet. Wires were a bit too wide for my frame, so I had to bend them, but that's my only modification.I will say, at first I nearly returned this bra because it looked pointy on me. But a few washes later and the pointy-ness went away. I also bought a comexim bra and another freya bra. They are decent, but the daisy lace is my fav.

This bra fits so well. I'm a 36E and have been looking for something with more "uplift" and decided to try this balcony bra. It provides so much support, and only uses 2 hooks in back so the bra looks sexy. Freya also makes great cup-sized swimwear which is how I discovered the brand.

I love love love how this bra fits. Now, having said this the Amazon warehouse has it stocked in UK sizes and not US sizes so check out what the equivalent is in UK and order that way. Example 38FF is the UK version of 38 H which is my size! So ordered 38FF. Very confusing but workable. Use the try it before you buy it option.

I have shopped so many stores and tried so many different brands but this is my favourite.If you're larger chested, seriously try these. For the price you seriously can't go wrong.Fits true to size, under $75 and they last and hold up very well.My husband bought me the pink pair on a whim because I was sick of paying over $100 because I'm "bigger chested". And I'm so so happy he stumbled upon this bra!!I won't buy any other bras now, freya has a customer for life.Seriously obsessed with the comfort, the quality and the price.

This bra is pretty, great fit & being 36FF it’s much better than bras in a large size. Impossible to get a decent bra this size in stores

Wear on daily basis. Looks nice too

Me quedó perfecta la talla que siempre uso. La forma de la copa no es redondeada, pero fuera de eso es bonito, bien hecho, cómodo (en la talla correcta) y dá buen soporte.Si tienes duda sobre las tallas europeas, entra a la página del fabricante y mídete con una cinta métrica en pulgadas.

Seit meiner professionellen Vermessung, bin ich seit Jahrzehnten ein Freya-Fan. Das hat auch seinen berechtigten Grund, da meine Oberweite (UK 38 HH oder in EU 85 L) weit ab von der "Normalität" ist und sich eben nicht im C oder D Cup-Bereich bewegt, wie die meisten Oberbekleidungen. (Tip: Amazon hat irgendwie ein Problem mit der Umrechnung der UK-Cup-Größen, weshalb hier die obigen Angaben nicht stimmen. Ich kann jeder Frau, die ihre korrekten Maße kennt, nur raten, mit dem Verkäufer direkten Kontakt aufzunehmen und die Größen in der richtigen UK-Größe zu bestellen.)Es gibt leider nicht viele Hersteller, die sich mit solchen Big-Größen näher beschäftigen möchten und wenn sie es doch versuchen, scheiten sie oft in der Pass- und/oder in den Bügelformen.Bei Freya kann ich mir meist sicher sein, dass sich bei mir kein Bügel schmerzhaft ins Brustbein und/oder in die Achselhöhle bohrt. Gleichzeitig hilft mir das enge Unterbrustband, dass der schwere Busen nur nebensächlich von den Schultern gehalten wird und mir in der Regel Spannungs- und Kopfschmerzen weitgehend erspart bleiben.Was mir auch schon vor Jahren (im Vergleich zu anderen Herstellern) aufgefallen ist: Freya verwendet ausgesprochen belastbare Materialien, so dass Frau sehr lange Freude an den BH hat und nicht nach einem halben Jahr schon wieder einen neuen Büstenhalter benötigt, weil Träger und Unterbrustband ausgeleiert ist. Weiterhin hat Freya scheinbar auch den Schulter-/Rückenbereich überarbeitet (im Vergleich zu wesentlich älteren Freya-Modellen), so dass auch die "Speckröllchen" im Achsel-/Rückenbereich weniger geworden sind.Die Cups sind rundlich gehalten. Der Busen wird in den Schalen natürlich vorn gehalten und nicht zur Seite gedrückt, so dass er bei Arbeiten nicht an den Armen schleifend stören wirkt. Insgesamt erhält der Busen optisch eine wirklich schöne Form, er wird exzellent gehalten und der Tragekomfort ist insgesamt sehr angenehm.Klare Kaufempfehlung!
